This past month, my sister and I went on a trip to NYC just the two of us and planned/paid for the whole thing ourselves, so adult. Anyways, it was one of the best trips I’ve been on thanks to Pinterest and blogs we researched before hand for the best sees, eats and do’s in NYC. I am going to be sharing my different looks from our time in the big apple and am starting it off with day 1 in Brooklyn! Read on for outfit details and my musts when in Brooklyn/Williamsburg…
Because we were traveling to NY that morning, I had to keep my look casual/comfy yet still chic enough for the fashionable city of NYC. These Nike black, suede high tops were the inspo for this look and they definitely make me feel WAYYY cooler than I actually am. I found these bad boys from DSW’s clearance section for $40, I couldn’t deny that. From there, I just added my favorite boyfriend jeans, white tee & denim panel button up to layer my look and go for the whole denim on denim. If you want to try denim on denim but are skeptical, try keeping your denim button up open like I did here and give it some contrast with a plain tee underneath.
Necessories in NYC: NY baseball hat of course to tame the hair in the crazy wind and my new chestnut Fossil watch that I never take off to make sure we didn’t miss our flight(; I finished my look off with my pink cross body purse from Old Navy that added the perfect amount of girly to my casual look.
Brooklyn/Williamsburg Musts:
- Williamsburg Bridge + Brooklyn Bridge: both are super cool and worth the walk! We rented some Citi bikes to get across the Williamsburg bridge and it was so much fun.
- Crif Dogs: authentic NY hot dogs in a cute, hole in the wall
- East River Ferry: takes you from Williamsburg bridge to Brooklyn Bridge for $4 with amazing views!
- Momofuku Milk Bar: This famous bakery was insanely good and there are several locations throughout NYC. What to get: crack pie + cornflake crunch cereal milk ice cream….yes that’s a thing.
Goodnight to the city that never sleeps…Check back soon for my next post from NYC!
XOXO, LPOC
